Planning Commission Resolution 595-99 October 6, 1999 Page 3 (4) The use, in the opinion of the City Council, is reasonably related to the overall needs of the City and to the existing land use. (5) The use is consistent with the purposes of the Zoning Code and the purposes of the zoning district in which the applicant intends to locate the proposed use. (6) The use is not in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan of the City. Sheds and out-buildings are typical uses in residential areas, and allow for the storage of yard and garden equipment . Having this shed will allow the property owners to replace a dilapidated metal shed and to store items currently left outside within a secure and protected structure. WHEREAS, the Planning Commission makes the following findings regarding the specific cup requirements as specified in Section 1106.04, Subdivision 7: a. The accessory building must conform with Section 1103.06 of this Title and subdivision 1106.03(l) of this Title. This section of the Code dictates where in the yard an accessory building can be located. The proposed shed would be located in the rear yard, which is the only place a shed can be located according to the Code. b. ' The combined square footage of all accessory buildings on one lot cannot exceed one thousand four hundred(1,400)square feet. The area of the garage (480 square feet) and the proposed shed (384 square feet)totals 864 square feet, well within the 1,400 maximum allowance. c. The accessory building shall not exceed four hundred(400) square feet. The proposed shed would be 384 square feet. d. The building must be a permanent structure. The shed would be a wood-framed structure mounted upon a concrete pad. It is considered permanent. e. The building shall be designed and maintained to provide a uniform appearance with the dwelling unit. The appearance of the shed will be different from the house, in that it will be a finished wood exterior having a barn-like design. The fact that most sheds are of a finished-wood construction makes this all the more typical arguably uniform in appearance.
